Good Day All
New member from QLD, just north of Brissy.
It's my first partol:
1988 Safari Grandroad.
Basically stock TD42 with PTO and 24V
Has a few issues but standard wear for 280,000. Brakes a few seals and bushes, nothing I would not have redone anyways and a lift kit was not going to replace.
Background:
Moved here from Canada in 2009.
Car History:
1989 Dodge Daytona Shelby
1994 Pontiac Sunbird
1989 Mustang GT
1994 Chevy Blazer 4x4
Australia
Mitsu Magna 4 banger
Daihatsu Feroza (surprisingly a great 4x4)
94 Hilux Surf 1KZ ( fairly done up: large IC, large transcooler (B&M drag unit up to 800 hp), heavy duty Trans (valve body pump gear low stall converter etc) Lifted)
99 Disco V8 (Was done up to the nines and set to be my tourer and lend vehicle for visiting family to see the country, all body armor, custome dual tyre carrier, lifted yada yada yada. Vehicle was written off 8.5 hours I finished the build in a 100 km roll over due to a tyre monkey over tightening lugs day earlier. Almost killed my parents)
and now no Mucking around. TD42 Manual Patrol.
I have always joined forums for my vehicles as there is a wealth of knowledge and money to be saved haha.
